The History of Recipes

Written cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked far back into the distant past, at least as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, in the main part, these old records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.

Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he describes how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also recounts how the ancient chefs used a good variety of aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, mint and dill.

Over the succeeding few centuries, the upper classes competed to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households.

The TV revolution gave us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books.

And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this.
